Our comment to her was, “we bet your fiancé is the exact opposite.”  She said… “YOU’RE RIGHT, HOW DID YOU KNOW?”  We both smiled.

The $10,000 Newlywed Surprise

Natalie Tysdal and Chris Parente appear to know everything about everyone … every day! As Emmy winners and co-hosts of Denver’s FOX31 Everyday show, you would guess they have heard it all. But, we might have found the one exception.

Chris and Natalie did not know their Money Personalities™ … yet. So they went to our website and took the Money Personality Quiz™ and learned something new. They are Saver/Spenders—both of them! (Must be another reason why they get along so well!) This means their Primary Money Personality™ is Saver and their Secondary is Spender.
